 What Rudolp Nureyev is to
ballet, Lee Joon Gi is to screen action. The impact Lee Joon Gi, with his spectacular stunts in the 2023 The Sword of Aramun, has changed how we see action on the screen.
Having a solid dance background and a natural flair for action, the innately
gifted Lee has become the symbol of the ultimate action star. With his electrifying
and fascinating movements, and quick and beautiful displays of pure
virtuosity, agility and flexibility, his leaps, jumps, spins or somersaults, some
of which with wires, are exemplary. Lee’s physical moves, influenced by
dance, is ‘poetry in action’. Sensuous physicality. Dynamic energy. Dreamy
magic. Impeccable style. His greatness as an action star has transformed the
image of action. No other actor is like him. He is the most brilliant casting
coup; he has been perfectly cast as the lead characters of Inashingi / Saya for
the Action-War-Romance television series. The globally famous, charismatic,
seasoned actor and top action star, Lee Joon Gi, has delivered an absolutely
extraordinary tour de force acting and electrifying action performance in The
Sword of Aramun, the 2023 trial-blazing High Fantasy war-based television
series. With his breathtaking nuanced acting and his preternatural martial
skills, athleticism and physicality, Lee has elevated
The Sword of Aramun to stratospheric heights. The first-of-its-kind
action-filled war television series, will no doubt be immortalised in the
history of the South Korean and Asian
television industry.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfRH8JWWs70&ab_channel=ILZANpire Director Kim Kwang Sik says, ‘It
is a drama with more action than any other historical drama I have seen in
Korea,’ and ‘You will be able to fully experience the pleasure of
watching a war drama that you have not seen in other action works.’
This landmark mythological war epic stresses
movement which Lee Joon Gi is famous for - movement, which spans physical
movement, eye energy or facial movements, physical vigour, body language and action sequences. Lee seems to
somersault, vault, fly, swoop up the tent-wall or slither up a horse quite
effortlessly. The actor sometimes lends a dreamy, fluid, lyrical and sensual
dance-like quality to his electrifying action sequences which can justifiably be described
as ‘poetry in motion’ in particularly Episodes 1, 2 and 10. Episode 5 sees
Lee in his raw, urgent and desperate ferocity as he rapidly ascends
spider-like up the cliff.
With Lee Joon Gi’s spectacular
action scenes, the subtle nuances in his acting performance as
Inaishingi and Saya, and the
explosive energy that he brings onto the screen, he is credited for shaping
the narrative and driving it forward. According to Professor Ha
Jae-geun, a cultural critic, ‘…
the large-scale action in first and second episodes, was thrilling with a
fight scene reminiscent of an American drama’.
The Dream Team, who are responsible telling of the story, which is executed at a furious, galloping pace and the spectacular action sequences of the excruciatingly suspenseful tale, includes the screenwriters, Kim Young Hyun and Park Sang Yeon; Director Kim Kwang Sik; Assistant Director, Bae Tae Jong; Cinematographer and Director of Photography, Choi Chan Ming; the Action Director, the Wardrobe Department and the other members of the cast and crew. Chosen O ne is the beautiful opening theme song.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUb4nu6nZBk&ab_channel=Forestella-Topic
When the story opens, the audience
is introduced to Inaishingi, who had consolidated his position as the
leader of the Ago Alliance in the east. The Ago warriors were a brewing
threat to Arthdal which lies in the west. Although Tagon, the king of Arthdal
had put down the last rebellion, he did not realise that it would be the
beginning of the end of his shaky reign. When Eun Seom or Inaishingi appears
on the screen, the audience is aware that he is haloed by the bright sun, as
a god should be since he is the Reincaranation of the god, Inaishingi. No,
not justt Inaishingi but also Aramun Haesulla. The radiance is cast around
him as he casually mounts his horse. It is such a sensual, sexy and powerful
moment as Inaishingi spreads his legs
and straddles his stallion. A magical moment.  In one
scene, a collaboration between the Ago Alliance and Bato tribe had been
arranged but the latter proved to be traitrous.
The Bato tribe conspired with Saya’s
Arthdal soldiers had tried to trap inaishingi. Nobody except the Ago Alliance
knew what Inaishingi looked like but once unmasked, the athletic Inaishingi, in
a sudden spurt, had leapt over the table, and caught hold of the Bato chief.   Inaishingi’s wicked smile played on
his lips when he whispered, It’s time to go out now, right?’ And,
with that, he dragged him outside to meet his fate. It is amusing to watch
how The Fly had outsmarted the Spider. 
When the enemy warriors rushed
towards Inaishingi, the powerful athletic hero somersaulted out of their
grasp, thrusting them powerfully aside. An amazing, graceful acrobatic move. It is like a dance. And the hearts of the audience must have also made a complete but shaky somersault.
Then suddenly, he did an
impressive and dramatic backward flip, grabbed a fallen sword and did a front
flip, thrusting out his powerful legs and kicking an approaching enemy in the
process. An utterly sensational masculine and manly athletic move.  THE SPECTACULAR LEAP
  
But, that is not all. Inaishingi
did an acrobatic battle dance. The audience was unprepared for it. The intense hunting panther with
a sword in one hand, lept high up. The incredible leap up the tribal
tent saw him swooping up the tent covers and then, flying into the air. Has
he vaulted up or what? Inaishingi was buoyant; his
incredibly powerful legs were flying in the air. It was dreamy action
sequence; it is poetry in motion. He was an exquisite exotic bird flying in
the air. The leap was so spectacular and
swift that even his pursuer could not react in time to save himself. At the
height of his leap near the top of the tent, he lifted his sword decisively
ready to thrust it at the enemy who was pursuing him. Inaishingi’s
mastery of his althletic moves, his brawn and muscle enabled the blow to be
delivered with skill, force, power and precision. As he swooped gracefully to the
ground, the Arthdal soldier has no fighting chance against the swift
descending sweep of Eun Seom’s steel blade that sheared through his body.
Blood spluttered everywhere. If the viewer had blinked, he would have missed
the incredible moment, when the blade came down. Inaishingi landed on the man and rolled away but to make short work of him, the savage warrior chief turned back to brutally finish him off with another thrust of his blade. Savage and brutal. One can hear the swish of the evil sword as it made dead meat of the poor man. Inaishingi is the epitome of the action hero and no action star can compare with Lee Joon Gi’s superior sensual action moves. It is not just acrobatic excellence but also artistic perfection. The performance is a sensation. The audience must have sat entranced and gaping at Lee’s spectacular action sequence. He is the great romantic hero who is swooping up hearts like the Asian eagle.
The brutality of the Igutu
savage makes one’s blood run cold. He cannot be blamed. The beast is, after
all, his Neanthal father’s son. 
The
enemy soldiers must have turned pale on witnessing the powerful leaps of
Inaishingi and the barbaric thrust of his sword. They had not expected to
confront a god with superhuman powers. The supernatural god was no fable. The stunned audience do not know when exactly Lee Joon Gi became the Reincarnation of the god, Inaishingi. A surge of excitement runs through them. One cannot conceal one’s sheer delight as his spectacular leap up the tent wall makes one breathless and awestruck.

enemy soldiers must have turned pale on witnessing the powerful leaps of the
Inaishingi and the thrust of his sword. They had not expected to confront a
god-man with superhuman powers. The supernatural god was no fable. The stunned audience do not know
when exactly Lee Joon Gi became Inaishingi. A surge of excitement runs
through them. One cannot conceal one’s sheer delight as his spectacular leap
up the tent wall makes one breathless and awestruck. Incredible. The action
sequence in Episode 1 is the most celebrated action scene in The Sword of
Aramun. THE DIVINE HORSE 
Before we discuss an equally spectacular action scene in Episode 2, we must mention Douri or Kanmoreu, the heavenly horse.
When Tanya sent Douri, the
magical horse to Inaishingi, it must
have been a stroke of good luck for Inashingi. Was it divine intervention? When
Douri arrived, Iniashingi and his equestrian friend formed an immediate
emotional bond. Iniashingi had a way
with horses; he was a horse whisperer and listener, and he and the magical
horse would soon be inseparable. A frienship is sealed. The two have a
certain spiritual connection. The audience are shown an extreme close-up of
the stallion’s eye to show its ability to communicate with Inaishingi.
The divine black stallion has an
aura that was awesome; he has a strong influence and effect on the other
horses. Inaishingi now had the edge over Arthdal. It does seem strange that Inaishingi
is the master of Douri, which some Arthdal soldiers claim to be Kanmoreu, the
magical horse of Aramun Haesulla. According to legend, the god, Aramun
Haesulla was the enemy of the god, Inaishingi. Yet Inaishingi could ride
Douri. In the end, Inaishingi would be the Master of The Sword of Aramun. THE PLAINS OF HANCHOA THE GREAT BATTLE BETWEEN A BARBARIC ARMY AND A CIVILIZED ARMY BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER INAISHINGI VERSUS SAYA  The Ago and Arthdal armies have
marched and arrived at the Hanchoa plains where they would battle it out. The
Arthdal army under General Saya was confident of rooting out the opposing
army. It was the first time that he was going to war armed with the military
knowledge learnt from documents and books from the Great Library in the Tower
of Fire. Unlike Inaishingi, his twin brother, Saya had no previous practical
war experience. Inaishingi was his first war opponent.
Can Inaishingi enter into a
hostile war without the aid of an adequate calvary? The Ago infantry had very
basic weapons, bows and arrows, and swords, which were nothing to boast of.
Their calvary was small compared with that of the Arthdal army. The Arthdal army wore bronze
helmets and armour and fully armed
with swords, bows and arrows. But the Ago army warriors wore no protective
clothing. The number of the enemies’ horse soldiers compared to their mostly
foot soldiers or infantry would have caused no small measure of fear aand
worry among the Ago warriors. The Arthdal calvarymen on their
swift horses were intimidating. They were like a moving forest whereas the
Ago army led by Eun Seom was pathetic. One could almot guess which side would
win. Both brothers were confident of
themselves; the Reincarnation of Inaishingi was a wise, intelligent, seasoned
warrior but Saya was new to the battlefield. It was a precarious situation.
But, the Ago soldiers were buoyant and their spirits were kept high because
of their complete trust and confidence in Inaishingi, whom they revered as a
god. The crane makes awesome airborne shots of the plains showing the opposing armies racing towards each other. Aerial shots also give an extravagant view of the battle which is suffused with action. The audience watch the battle with a sense of exhilaration
The war horn was sounded. The
Igutu beast bellowed. One is stunned by the images of the athletic Inaishingi
running ahead of his men. Unlike Saya, he, the heroic Ago leader, led from
the front; he was in the heart of the battle. We have to hand this to Lee Joon
Gi who had regularly trained at great speeds for his athletic and masculine
role. His instagram is full of his posts on his vigorous training. The excitement rises as the
audience watches Inaishingi, the leader of the Ago army, running at a
punishing pace, whizzing past enemy soldiers and slaughtering them. 
The urgency and the desperate
movement of the protagonist is captured by the moving camera. One notes the
tremendous sense of speed of Inaishingi’s footstrides. His features were
convulsed with fury and a fierce determination to succeed. He, an Igutu warrior
who had gone berserk, took a straight path to his enemies. None were prepared for the twist
in the story. One is swept up in the exciting event especially when the
horses of the enemy behaved weirdly. The Arthdal army was formidable but what
no one expected was the divine intervention in the form of a magical horse.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxIZirRIDD1/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D POETRY IN MOTION
Lee Joon Gi also works his magic
in this war scene. He is athletic and pumped up with testosterone. The
urgency and desperation on his face, as he springs up the horse of the enemy
soldier, and flies in the air make one catch one’s breath.
Lee’s stunts are incredible and
spectacular. Due to Lee Joon Gi’s dancing talent, the audience would notice how supple, limber and lithe
his body is when he executes his stunts. His physicality, agility, and flexibility
is mindblowing. His masculinity and athleticism are on show.
 
In another soaring movement which
he performs with extraordinary kinetic grace is preternaturally spectacular.
Tugging at the enemy soldier, he skilfully pulled himself up, grabbed his
neck, and turned around to brutally slice the soldier'sneck. They made an amazing sight as
they flew in the air, having been pulled away from the running horse. Then,
as Inaishingi glided lyrically down, he executed a thrust with his sword into
the heart of the soldier. They tumbled onto the ground. The powerful thrust,
a very savage action to ensure the instant death of the enemy, filled the
audience with dread. Savage and brutal. Poetry in motion. The
spectacular action sequence, a sensual war dance, has a surrealistic quality. https://www.instagram.com/p/CxEywT1tgUo/?hl=en
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Lee
Joon Gi, as Inaishingi, has enraptured the audience with the thrills, the
chills and the powerful acting performance.; the viewers are like putty in
his hands.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7J0vngifYQ&ab_channel=DisneyPlusSingapore  While the action in Episode 1 of The Sword of
Aramun is more of a study of Inaishingi’s eagle-like dynamic physicality and physical
movement, Episode 2 is a study of a panther-like fluidity of his leaps,
beast-like athleticism, and the skilful use of bow and arrows while standing
on horseback at a gallop. It is reminiscent of the war techniques of the
deadly Mongol calvary. The second episode is redolent with lavish detail of
the perilous war between the Ago army and the Arthdal army, a clash between
the identical twins, Inaishingi and Saya, a god and his twin brother, and
involving a divine horse and mortals. This episode, which gives the
audience a second look at the exciting and magnificent battle with
blow-by-blow images, is brought to life by Lee Joon Gi in his dual roles of Inaishingi
and Saya. THE HERO AND THE ANTI-HERO GOD AND MAN INASHINGI IS JUXTAPOSED WITH SAYA 
This second episode emphasizes the exceptional courage of Inashingi and how the Ago army under him cleverly acquired more horses. The battle scene is a picture of infinite savagery. But, the victory of the poorly equipped Ago army against the sophisticated Arthdal army would have been impossible without the magical horse, Kanmoreu
The Ago army led by Inaishingi stood
confidently in the Hanchao plains despite being poorly equipped. Their
calvary, though small, was effective. Inaishingi was in the frontlines; he
was flanked by Ipsaeng on his right and Dalsae, on his left. Despite their setbacks, the Ago army
was not cowed by the presence of their formidable enemy. War was not for the
faint-hearted. Moreover, they had their god, Inaishingi leading them. 
But Saya, the Arthdal general was
not with his men in the frontlines. He had not drummed up enough courage to
be in the midst of the battle; his role was only to bark out orders in the
background or sidelines. His front row seat at the battlefield was a horse
parked on higher ground away from the upcoming butchery.    From the look of things, he was
confident of winning. Smirking in his arrogance and contempt which he did not
even try to hide, he uttered, ‘We might not even need Mubeck.’ He
was already counting his eggs. Victory was already in the hands of the
first-time general. The calvary headed by Mubeck, the
strongest commander of Arthdal, lay quietly in wait for the crucial moment to
strike.
His Arthdal soldiers were also just
as bad in hiding their arrogant views. ‘Who gets nervous going against
beasts?’ When the war horn was blown, the
Arthdal army quickly galloped forwards.
The two opposing army, one a
cavalry, the other, basically an infantry, were separated by the vast plain.
Their raucous shouts and roars rose thunderously as they rushed headlong into
each other. It is no joke to say that the
Arthdal army, which stood in front of the verdant forest, looked for a moment
like a moving forest. Riding their horses swiftly and
wearing suits of armour and helmets, the soldiers looked terrifying and intimidating. THE GOD INAISHINGI
 But the savage Ago warriors had
Inaishingi. The athletic Inaishingi, speeding furiously ahead of his army,
could not wait to punish the enemy. It seemed as if a wave of irresistible
fury had arisen in him. He was like a beast gone mad, one who was running
amok and snarling like a ferocious panther.       DIVINE INTERVENTION
One can never belittle intervention. The presence of the Douri or Kanmoureu was a divine blessing. The Arthdal horses behaved strangely and started crashing to the ground, bringing their riders along with them.
Chaos ensued. It was as if a great unseen
hurricane had swept the Arthdal army onto the ground in the grasslands. There were groans of death and
suffering everywhere. It was a bloodbath. There was slaughter everywhere. Stunned, Saya frowned. He had spoken
his arrogant words too soon. Wars are unneccesary except to bring
down tyrants. The gods in the heavens must be very angry. The war was a crucial point for him;
he had not forseen it. it was decided by the gods that he should not win. INAISHINGI A PRETERNATURAL SIGHT
  Inaishingi flew past a horseman, struck him with his sword, fought another and then swoop up a horse with its rider, caught hold of him, wheeled around and sliced his neck. And as the horse galloped off, they were pulled away and they were flying in the air. The audience must have gasped at the preternatural sight. Lee Joon Gi’s flair for action scenes makes the audience gasp at the sheer wonder of him all. And while mid-air, Inaishingi raised
his sword and thrust it into the rider’s heart to finish him off for good.
The vicious blade was savage and brutal. Both fell into a heap. Inaishingi
lost no time to withdraw his sword which was soon lodged in the soldier’s
twitching body. The scene is awesome. Snarling, the savage warrior struck others down. The action was fast, fierce and furious.
INAISHINGI A SURREALISTIC IMAGE
The next thing the audience knew, Inaishingi
had already hoisted himself up another horse. No, to be correct, he actually
flew into the air as a horse rider galloped past. Catching hold of him, he
sliced the poor victim. It seemed Inaishingi had flown
sideways towards another rider. And while in mid-air, he lifted his muscular
legs and his sword ready to slash the rider. If you’d blink, you wouldn’t
have seen the swift descent of the blade. The rider fell off his horse and
Inaishingi also tumbled onto the ground.
Lee Joon Gi, probably because his
natural flair for dancing, has a terrific dream-like grace, an animal
magnetism, which revealed itself in the panther-like leaps.
THE AGO CALVARY CIRCLED THE ARTHDAL CAVALRY Chaos reigned supreme as enemy
horses collapsed everywhere.
Inaishingi, amidst the chaos of the
carnage, seemed to be focussed on something. He rushed towards his target.
As if by magic, the Ago calvary had galloped
into the scene and circled the battle area targeting only a group
of enemy calvary at the outer edges of the battle area.
By now, Saya, who was perched on
higher ground and waiting in the sidelines, had panicked. Growing anxiety and
worry was plastered on his face. He realised he needed Mubeck’s help after
all. Pride goes before a fall.     THE COUNTERATTACK SMOKE ARROWS
The forbidding special masked calvary attired in black led by Mubeck loomed large. Their specialty was shooting smoke arrows. The cloudy mists produced by the fire
and smoke, rose from the ground, concealing the approach of enemy riders. Shocked by this unexpected
development, Inaishingi called Tachukan to attention.
A N AMAZING PICTURE IN BLACK AND WHITE
As the wall of fog cleared, Mubeck
on his galloping horse ominously appeared; he was clearly in focus. The
other galloping soldiers, with their swords ready and drawn, blurred into an
undulating sea of obscurity.
Many fell before the swords of the
powerful elite army of Arthdal. The malicious Saya gleefully
gloated, ‘How pitiful!’
 
RETREAT  
Inaishingi was urgently advised to
retreat by his adviser, Ipsaeng but he was adamant at first as he was
obsessed about killing the Arthdal general. He was hardwired to win his wars.
But, he was too valuable to the Ago Alliance
to be a victim of his own obsession. If he died, Ipsaeng argued, unity would
evaporate and the Ago Alliance would disintegrate. Everything would fall
apart and they would go back to square one.
When they retreated, the enemies
gave chase. But Inaishingi, the war-seasoned
warrior, was not unprepared; he was not one to be trifled with.
Acting as a decoy to distract the
enemy, he made a sudden about-turn, with his horse racing towards Saya.
Mubeck and his calvary took the bait, and turned back to chase after him.
Unbeknownst to them, Inaishingi’s
heavenly stallion exercised his magical power. When the Arthdal horses slowed
to a crawl, Mubeck remembered a similar previous experience when chasing
Kanmoreu, the divine horse of Aramun Haesulla. He then realised that the
rider of the black stallion was Inaishingi, The Chosen One, and the horse was
really Kanmoreu. 
As Inaishingi raced towards Saya,
the latter became anxious and badly shaken. His personal troops were ordered
to intercept his brother.
Inaishingi shot relentlessly at the
approaching horse soldiers but soon he was left with no arrows from his
quiver. But, the ever-resourceful Igutu bent down with great ease to pick one
from the ground. By watching just the first two episodes
of the series, it is clear why the actor of the lead roles for Inaishingi / Saya has been RECAST.
Suffice to say that Lee Joon Gi is the greatest Korean actor, possessing not only sterling acting skills and chameleon powers of switching from one twin to the other but also formidable action and martial arts skills.
Standing on his galopping horse, he
leapt mightily into the air. He pointed his arrow at Saya. It was an awesome
scene.  
Had he succeeded, Saya would have
been just a sitting duck. When a spear was thrown at him, he
instinctively swerved to avoid it as it whizzed past him. When he leapt, the camera records
his raised arm and the rich and brilliant textures and matching colours of
his war attire, his quilted tunic of strips with leather sleeves which had
accordion-like folds. A fantastically beautiful image.
Falling to the ground, his flimsy
mask rolled off. He was encircled. Before he could grab his mask, Mubeck had
already caught sight of his face. The familiarity of Inaishingi’s face made
Mubeck realise the identity of the Ago hero.  
The immature and inexperienced Saya
thought they had Inaishingi trapped. He was gleeful and deliriously happy but
it was unwise for him to rejoice too early.
INAISHINGI THE HORSE WHISPERER
At that most exciting point, the
quick-thinking Inaishingi mounted his stallion, and bending forward, he
whispered urgently to Douri or Kanmoreu
to do his part.   After the horse had reared in the
air, the horse whisperer instructed the stallion to repeat his amazing feat.
It was an impressive sight as the horse reared with front legs high in the
air. 
It was then that one realises that
Eun Seom, The Reincarnation of the god, Inaishingi, was also the
Reincarnation of the god, Aramun Haesulla as Eun Seom at that moment fitted
the image of the statue of Aramun Haesulla on his magical horse, Kanmoreu,
like a glove. 
Inaishingi’s horse had a magical
effect and influence on all the other horses on the battlefield. When all the
enemy soldiers were thrown to the ground, the horses as if drawn to a magnet,
followed Inaishingi and Kanmoreu. It was not a fable after all. In the
past, Mubeck had been told of Kanmoreu, the magic horse by Sanung, father of
Tagon, the founder of the Arthdal Union.
 
The Arthdal army had taken a massive
hit.
A WHISTLE ARROW 
A whistle arrow, fitted with a
whistling head, was shot into the air. It whistled, signalling for
reinforcements. 
The Ago calvary miraculously
reappeared. The horsemen could shoot accurately even riding on their swift
horses. Their amour-piercing arrows sent their enemies reeling to their
deaths. Despite the slaughter, Mubeck survived.
Inaishingi closed in on his target,
the panic-shaken Saya, who barked his orders to the soldiers to intercept
him.
Finally, the renowned Igutu warrior,
Inaishingi, with his mount in full gallop, aimed a warning shot at Saya. It
can be seen that all his war techniques have made Inaishingi a deadly warrior
and horseman. Saya, heavy of heart, and probably
shaking in his boots, was humiliated. His mouth wobbled as the
arrow missed him narrowly and he fell to the ground. Saya, a defeated
general, had failed Arthdal miserably. The cocky first-timer lacked knowledge
and practice in the art of war. Most of all, he lacked the divine blessings
of the gods.   The war had wreaked havoc on the
Arthdal army. Many men were slaughtered and butchered in the bloodbath. And
there were many casualties. Those who were injured but alive, were suffering
and in pain.  Furious with himself, as Saya
studied his reflection in a mirror, he roundly condemned himself as ‘a stupid
fool’. Defeat was too much for him to bear. He smashed the mirror with his
fists.
Watching Saya looking at himself in
the mirror makes us sympathise with him. Does that character represent all of
us, especially when we fail in our endeavours?  Episode 5 must have been the most
awaited episode of The Sword of Aramun after all the excitement since the
unforgettable opening episodes as can be seen from the wild, irrepressible
and exuberant responses the war scenes have evoked from the audience. And
everyone knows why. Lee Joon Gi’s depth and nuanced acting and action performances
have triggered the netizens’ animated discussions.  As Saya, he is impressive; he
projects a sexy defiant look. The older twin’s sarcastic tone, sense of
insecurity and downcast demeanour, in the light of his twin’s incredible
achievements draw attention and win sympathy. But that is not all; the versatile
Lee Joon Gi is an unforgettable formidable sight at the ending sequence of
Episode 5. That iconic scene has set the Internet on fire.  Lee Joon Gi delivers a high level of
adrenaline to the scene - nimble, agile and swift as he scales, no –
powerfully charges up the rugged cliffs to the top. Lee’s formidable range of
emotions and eye energy has brought the intimidating savage in Inaishingi to
life. He has not only impressively flexed his strong arm and leg muscles but
also his acting muscles. His stunt is awe-inspiring. Inaishingi’s electrifying savage wet
look of fury, his lightning-scarred arm and his furious spider crawl will
forever be frame-freezed in everyone’s mind. It is an amazing beastlike Lee
Joon Gi with his wild charm that the Kdrama audience have never seen before. The
feat itself, an iconic scene, is stunning enough to electrify the global
audience. Lee owns The Sword of Aramun; he has made his mark on television
history.
In Episode 5, when Inashingi was in
Arthdal, Tanya showed him Aramun’s last will and oracle.
‘When the zelkova tree cracks and my
sword is revealed, Aramun shall know their mission.’ She insisted that he was also the
Reincanation of Aramun Haesulla, ‘If the zelkova tree cracks and a sword
is revealed, I hope you realize that you are Aramun.’
THE HARSH REALITY A BLEAK AND DIRE FUTURE 
Yeolsan had secretly brought Inashingi
out of Arthdal. He advised him not to return to Arthdal but he received a
rude shock. Inashingi confidently declared that he would be back with
countless warriors of the Ago Union.
As a sign of good faith, Yeolsan
presented him with an iron sword, which the younger man tested. When he swung
it, a ringing sound was heard.  
Astonished, Inashingi realised
the iron sword was far superior to his bronze sword. The iron sword, which
was lighter and stronger than the bronze sword, was the pride of Arthdal. And
Yeolson made it clear: Have no delusions about it. Arthdal could produce it
in great numbers very easily.
THE DANCE OF DESTINY
Inashingi was confounded by this
new development. All the lives of Ago depended on him. The Chosen One and the
Ago Union were now trapped in a dance of destiny. Will things break apart for
the Ago Union? The audience wait with bated
breath at the revelation. The twist and turn of the story has them in the
palm of the writers. The gods have other plans for
their Chosen One. As he reflected on Yeolson’s words, thunder rumbled and
forked lightning lashed across the sky. Torrential rain poured down on the
hero, who was mesmerised by the amazing sword. The cliffs were a pool of flickering
shadows.
ARAMUN’S ORACLE THE ZELKOVA TREE CRACKS  Mulling over the future threat
of the iron sword to the Ago Union, Inaishingi initially failed to notice the
presence of Yangcha who had crept up on him.
Feeling the burning eyes of the
other man, he was shocked by the threatening stance of the obsessive former
Child of Shahati who was there to avenge what he thought was the danger Eun
Seom had brought to Tanya.
Fighting in the driving rain,
they crossed swords multiple times. Yangcha finally discovered that his
bronze sword was useless against the relentless swing of Inaishingi’s iron
sword. Inaishingi swerved and swayed as the swords swung back and forth. It
was inevitable Inaishingi would win. It was a fight between a god who armed
with an iron sword and a mortal with a useless bronze sword. Inaishingi was
invincible.
Yangcha rolled to the ground in
humiliation but though he was stunned, he did not give up. THE LIGHTNING SCARS THE LICHTENBERG FIGURES
At that moment, the zelkova tree
broke into two, leaving the stump standing while the branches fell into the
deep ravine below. Yangcha took the moment of distraction to slash at Inaishingi
but as fate would have it, his sword, like the tree, also broke into two.
 Inaishingi’s lifted hand, which
was pointed towards the sky, was struck by lightning. The lightning coursed
through the metal sword, a conductor of electricity; it flowed right through
his arm, causing a massive shock. He grimaced in pain. His face
ran the gamut of emotions as the flashes of electricity left a spidery
network of bloody red scars running along the length of his rippling muscular
arm.
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCxBTO65MjE&ab_channel=DefinitelyEntertaining
His hand was marked by the
Lichtenberg Figures from the lightning
strike. The searing, fiery, red-hot electricity seemed to burn into him as he
struggled with his enormous pain. It was a fearful sight as Inaishingi’s
hand trembled and shook. It seemed that the lightning, which had gripped him
like a vise, had stubbornly refused to let go. He also couldn’t detach
himself from it. Finally, when the blinding light
from the heavens vanished, the convulsions ceased and his sword flew away.
Left breathless from the ordeal, it seemed that he had swayed unsteadily at
the edge of the the precipitous cliff. The Kdrama audience must have
been kept on the edge of their seats. The hairs of their necks must have also
bristled. Taking advantage of the
dangerous situation, Yangcha jumped up, took off his reel of chains that was
wrapped around his body and swung it at Inaishingi. The Ago chief lost his
balance and fell headlong into the abyss below. 
THE FEROCIOUS SCALING OF THE STEEP CLIFF
It was horrible and
heart-breaking moment for the audience as Inaishingi, howling in pain,
grabbed desperately at the air. It seemed like it was the end of him. His screams echoed through the
stillness of the mountains. The audience, some of whom may have goosebumps, were
instantly horrified.
But no, if you’d ever doubted
Inaishingi was a god, then this was the moment when your doubts vanished.
There is no shadow of a doubt about his divinity. You might not believe it but
Inaishingi impressively fought his way up the cliff – he scaled the steep
incline of the cliff in the fierce raging storm to reach the summit. His
ferocious predator-look matched the thunderous, devastating storm. 
The murderous fiendish look in
his eyes took on a life of its own. An incandescent, mersmerising purple glow
blazed within. He was like a cobra come alive. The savage and agile Igutu was
like a wild animal which had been stung into a frenzy. He was not unlike a
monstrous spider. With his 4 powerful and muscular limbs spread apart, he
moved with appalling speed over the jagged outcrops and ledges without losing
his grip and without falling. He had furiously crawled up the slippery
vertical cliff with such ferocious determination and shaking with such
pent-up fury, that viewers must have been shocked. Know it as the savage
Spider Lunge.
One can think of no other animal
that can hurl itself forward like he did. His amazing agility and balance
showed that he was no human; he was superhuman. He was a god. AT THE MERCY OF When Inaishingi reached the top
of the cliff, the cliff climbing four-limbed hero looked as if he could tear
Yangcha from limb to limb. He grabbed hold of the former Child of Shahati and
hurled him down from where he had climbed up.
 
Yangcha instinctively threw his
roll of chains up and it caught one of the ledges. The bedraggled handsome hero
looked down at his nemesis for some time as the latter, while gripping his
chains, struggled and dangled in the raging storm. Inaishingi, being a god, was
merciful. Seeing scant reason to kill the ignorant mortal, Inaishingi finally
pulled him up. It was a close call for the foolish bodyguard.
THE SWORD OF ARAMUN 
Then Inaishingi recalled the
words of Aramun, ‘When the zelkova tree cracks
and my sword is revealed, Aramun shall know their mission.’ Yancha asked, ‘Is it
Aramun’s sword?’ Gazing at Yangcha, Inaishingi
ordered him to inform Tanya, the High Priest that Aramun’s Sword had been
found in the zelkova tree.
When Yancha objected, Inaishingi
stressed, ‘From now on, this is Aramun’s sword.’
 Then, Inaishingi raised his
lightning-scarred right hand which held the iron sword.
He proclaimed, ‘No
matter how you see it, this sword is mine! Tell her - I, Eun Seom of the
Wahan Tribe, will become Inaishingi and Aramun Haesulla!’ There was
a note of finality in his voice.
He could not avoid nor
cold-shoulder his destiny. He must go down the path that was dictated for
him.
    Lightning streaked across the
skies and thunder rumbled.
With a thunderous roar, while
holding tightly onto the sword, he plunged it deep into the heart of the
stump of the zelkova tree.
Then, his eyes glowed a purple
hue, the mark of an Igutu.  
  GUILTY PLEASURES
Many ladies and perhaps even
men, might succumb to the guilty pleasure of watching the compelling, not to
mention, scrumdiddlyumptious Lee Joon Gi at the end of Episode 5, over and
over again.  Well, what’s wrong with a little
indulgence every now and then. But most likely, they won’t be giving it up
anytime soon.
Imagine the glorious muscular
arm, biceps and triceps of the best action star ever; they are a sight to
behold. Many can visualize him even in their dreams: his 4 powerful limbs
crawling spider-like furiously up the steep incline of the cliffs and also his powerful raised
lightning-scared hand gripping his iron sword.  The gorgeous Lee Joon Gi has
made Inashingi even more divine, masculine, savage and charismatic than
anyone has ever imagined him to be. Man, oh man! What an awesome sight! And for those who had complained
of not being able to see Lee Joon Gi’s muscular legs as well in the
television series, there’s an image of the athletic actor in his running
shorts in his punishing athletic training during the filming of The
Sword of Aramun.

 It would be a sin of omission if
one didn't mention that the globally popular Lee Joon Gi has flexed his
acting and action muscles yet again as he demonstrates many layers of
emotions and action skills in his stellar performance. Viewers rhapsodize
over Lee Joon Gi’s inspiring performance in his dual roles as Inaishingi Eun
Seom and Saya, the very heart and soul of this fantasy television
series. His acting performance is stunning and electrifying;
his action scenes are a combination of breathtaking poise, physicality
and flexibility and set the heart beating with their potent sensual
appeal. Lee, the finest and most talented actor in Asia, shows his
extraordinary sensitivity in his performance. A commanding force, he dominates
the screen in Episode 10. In the ensuing war with Tagon, the
Ago warriors had been lured out of the forest to fight on the plains. Tagon
himself was the bait.
It can be seen that Tagon was
breathless and exhausted; he was weighed down by his heavy armoured suit with
hundreds of small rectangular panels on it. Moreover, he was older and less
agile than before. In fact, he was middle-aged and overweight.   When he stopped, the Ago pursuers under
Tachukan and Mirusol stopped. What was surprising was the Ago warriors did
not set themselves upon him all at once. Inaishingi was warned by Karat, the
dying Momo warrior, that Tagon’s army was lying in wait to trap the Ago
warriors over the other side of the hill.
THE CHARGE OF THE AGO ARMY UNDER INAISHINGI Inaishingi’s face darkened. There
was fury and determination in his eyes when he realised the ruse used by the Arthdal
king. With a look of ferocity and
savagery, he commanded all forces to go past Dolgae Hill and advance towards
Baranggil. Everyone was startled by his forcefulness. Wasn’t it a trap by the
crafty Tagon to lure them there?  Inaishingi, the heroic leader, would
not desert his men and leave them to be slain. The risk he was taking,
accompanied by his determination and empathy, showed that Inaishingi was truly
courageous and would not shrink from his duty or responsibility to protect
his men, however dangerous.
Inaishingi was not about to be
compelled to throw away the cream of his beloved army, his beloved leaders
and leave them helpless at Tagon’s mercy. He didn’t allow his heart to sink
and wasn’t about to squander their lives. If they didn’t march on, Mirusol
and Tachukan would die. Tae Maja agreed.
THE ARTHDAL WAR TACTIC Bloodlust. The treacherous king,
holding his sword which was pointed to the sky, was ready to signal for the
armoured soldiers to rush forward to crush the Ago warriors. The strategy and tactic of Arthdal
had worked. The Ago warriors were now at a disadvantage. There is a flashback
showing Yeonbal suggesting a plan to Tagon that he, Yeonbal, would be
the bait to lure the Ago warriors into the open plains where they were the
most vulnerable. 
 The king had counterargued that the
Ago tribe wasn’t stupid if Yeonbal was the bait. But if Tagon was the decoy,
things would be different and the plan would succeed.The cunning Tagon, who
had an incurable addiction to winning and glory, would risk his life to lure
the enemy to enter the wide, open spaces of the plains. Excitement rose as the gleaming
armoured Arthdal soldiers with helmets and iron swords marched forwards and
towards the Ago soldiers.
THE COUNTERATTACK WITH THE AGO CALVARY
Inaishingi was pulling his heavenly
horse through the forest to reach the plains. He was followed by his group of
calvary warriors. Mangled corpses lay on the ground.     The fighting was frenzied. It was
surprising that the booted and battle-ready armoured Arthdal soldiers did not
sink. There was chaos and slaughter everywhere. Another bloodbath. The scene
of devastation was frightening yet exciting. Tachukan was furious to have
been tricked. Mirusol, the female warrior, was too busy with the fighting to
feel fear or anxiety. Suddenly, a most welcome voice
boomed across the valley calling Tachukan and Mirusol. Inaishingi was a
marvel. The Ago calvary had appeared.
  
Inaishingi looked amazing on his
horse as he emerged from the forest. The leader had a certain style and charm
about him. With an expressive determination on his face, he let fly his
ferocious war cry.
Lifting his sword, he roared, ‘In
the name of Ago and the waterfall.’ The roar was fit to wake the
dead. Hearing his loud booming voice gave the Ago warriors fresh hope.
Any leading actor, if trained to do
so, could ride a horse. But Lee Joon Gi is different; he bonds easily with
his horses. He loves his equine friends and they love him. He has ridden
different horses in his many television series and is accustomed with working
long hours with them.
As can be seen in the television
series, he rides his horses with style and flair. Lee looks majestic in the
horse-riding scenes.
Inaishingi and his warriors galloped
down in a ferocious rush, leaving a huge cloud of dust to rise in the air
after them. Inaishingi, Tae Maja and the Ago calvary looked like fiendish
horsemen as they galloped towards their destination.
 
For one moment the Arthdal soldiers
turned pale but their commanders insisted on fighting. The fight continued as
Inaishingi swept across the plains like a lightning strike, mowing down all
the enemy soldiers in his way. The fight was fast and furious. Barbaric. The
slaughter of the battle took its toil.
THE FACE-TO-FACE CONFRONTATION BETWEEN THE HERO AND THE VILLAIN Inaishingi, in one continuous
movement, was fast in his striking enemies dead. He now desired to make as
great a slaughter as possible; he seemed invincible. Tagon was desperately
watching the slaughter in fascination.
And when his commander pointed
Inaishingi out, he suddenly came out of his reverie.
 Without thinking Tagon rushed
forward in a straight line towards his rival and nemesis. He bristled with
vengeance; he had waited for this moment to fight Inaishingi. Nothing stopped
or slowed him down. He was unstoppable in his madness to fight Inaishingi who
was famed for his war victories.       
As Tagon thundered Inaishingi’s
name, he turned into a demon. His headlong rush forward gained momentum and
he magically flew into the air. The hero was shocked but he was no
easy prey. He was not unprepared. Inaishingi’s body, which was flexible and
agile, avoided the full impact of the descending body.
  Tagon was like big tree trunk flying
in the air as if he was shot like a ball from a canon. It seemed that he had
no control of his movement in the air. What goes up must ultimately come
down. As he fell downwards, he, brushing slightly
against Inashingi, landed heavily on the ground. Inashingi had a narrow
escape. Think of the consequences. Had he not been agile and
flexible, the overweight Tagon in his heavy metal battle clothes could have
crushed him like a ton of bricks.
Both got up immediately and they
faced each other. Tagon was gaping at Inashingi as if he had seen a ghost.
His mind was addled and he was unable to conceal the shock of seeing the face
that was identical to that of Saya’s. The dark eyes of Inaishingi narrowed.
Tagon fixed his eyes on the image with intensity – the same handsome face, the same heroic look and the same intriguing curve at the mouth. The vivid regal image of Inaishingi had turned Tagon to stone. Suddenly, the ongoing war seemed less of a challenge to him.
Inaishingi instinctively knew at
that instant that Tagon realised who he was. The playful turn of his head and
the knowing look he shot at Tagon held the king captive. The enigmatic smile
on Inaisingi’s face and the wicked twinkle in his eyes shocked the stupified
king. At that instant, he remembered
Saya’s words, ‘I might die like this. But you will die at my hands.
Remember my face.’
The image of their confrontation is
a fantastic and clever artistic composition, with the regal hero on the left
staring triumphantly at the mersmerised villian of the piece on the right. they are standing on flat ground on the plains. Nobody notices the fighting soldiers in their midst. Only the real Aramun
Haesulla and the fake one seem visible to the eyes. It is a piece of magic. Both men are clearly etched in the scene and remain engraved in the audience's memory. An iconic image.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWtL4OOeSyY&ab_channel=Leejoongi_globalfans https://www.youtube.com/@leejoongi_globalfans  https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzEQtK9r0ma/?hl=en Stumped by the vision before
him, Tagon could only stare at him. The Arthdal soldiers, like Tagon, also
thought they were in the presence of Saya’s ghost. Only when Inaishingi attacked
him with his sword did Tagon come out of his stupor. Tagon, in his pretty
military attire, tried to strike him.  But Inaishingi’s physical
flexibility and agility enabled him to leap and somersault, to avoid the
blow. 
Inaishingi, while rolling over,
struck his sword into the ground. In one lightning move, the lithe and nimble
Ago leader dexterously grabbed the sword, swiftly rose and flew or
glided butterfly-like towards Tagon. His elegant and graceful movements spark
the imagination of the audience.  It is poetry in motion once
again.
In one lightning move, he
grabbed the sword and rushed over to where Tagon was standing and struck a
blow but Tagon blocked it with his sword. The reality was, although both
were very strong Igutus, the brutal Tagon had the advantage. He had a
sword that was wider and stronger. Pulling Inaishingi’s left sleeve
up, he saw the slash scar on his arm. That mark differentiated the twin
brothers. Inaishingi received the scar while trying to save
Arok at Ttesarichon. Tagon knew that he was not Saya.
 
Smirking and bemused, Inaishingi
naughtily arched his head without even speaking, seemingly asked, ‘Now
you know who I am?’ His twinkling eyes smiled at the king.
 
Realization dawned on Tagon who
he was dealing with. The fear of the fake Aramun rose as he faced the real
Aramun Haesulla. It was a fear that he had yet to defeat. Suhana’s words returned to haunt
him, ‘The name of the stranger who became Inaishingi is Eun Seom.’ He
also remembered the warning that the day when The Sword, The Bell and
The Mirror appeared together, his world would collapse. 
Tagon, who experienced cold
fear, was not going to allow the prediction to be realised. It was surprising
that suddenly Tagon, an Igutu, was imbued with superstrength. Grabbing
Inaishingi, another Igutu, he smashed him to the ground. The kinesthetically-intelligent
Inashingi leapt high up in the air. As he descended, he thrust his sword
powerfully at Tagon but Tagon avoided the blow. If he hadn’t, the
outcome would have been devastating.   It must be mentioned that Lee
Joon Gi's action scenes catch everyone's
attention; his amazing agility and sensual physicality are a
delight to watch.
Inaishingi’s power gaze worked
on Tagon psychologically. The final moments of Saya and his stinging
prediction played on Tagon’s mind.
‘You are a fake. No. we are all
fake. You must have heard of Inaishingi riding Kanmoreu.’ Mentally tortured, Tagon swung
his sword crazily at Inaishingi. On spying the divine horse,
Kanmoreu, Tagon’s ambition gripped him. Inaishingi followed his line of
sight.
Tagon rushed towards his target,
the horse of the heavens. Inaishingi wasn’t going to be robbed of his special
horse but he had fallen on the ground.
Leaping clumsily up the horse,
the king attempted to ride off with it.
But, Kanmoreu would have none of
it; it was no ordinary horse. None but his master could ride it. Tagon found
himself back to where he started. When Kanmoreu reared, it unseated him.
Tagon fell heavily to the ground and to reality. He was not destined to be
the real Aramun Haesulla. 
When he looked up, Inaishingi
had regally mounted the divine horse and straddled it.
What emerged was a striking
picture of Inaishingi against the rising sun. His mounting of the stallion
was such a masculine yet sensual move that it showed who the
real reincarnation of Aramun Haesulla was. A sensual image.  Lee Joon Gi has given the image
a stamp of his sexiness, athleticism and masculinity. He has given the women
in the audience heart palpitations. Lee makes his audience marvel at his
action skills, personal charm and charisma.  ‘It’s not a legend. The real one
is coming. The real Aramun’.
Inaishing turned back
confidently and majestically as Tagon addressed him, ‘Eun Seom of the
Wahan tribe, Saya’s benetbot and Inaishingi. Were all of them you?’  
Inaishingi responded
with a triumphant smile, I’ll become the reincarnation of Aramun
Haesulla with Kanmoreu.’
Making a mental note of the
bloody slaughter, he ordered the Ago warriors to retreat.
 
The war ended in a stalemate. An
impasse. Tagon’s war strategy had gone awry because of Inaishingi’s
intelligence and heroism. But it was only later when
Inaishingi was aided by the heavens in their last confrontation that Tagon
finally realised that Arthdal was totally and irrevocably defeated. In the
war when Inaishingi fought fire with fire, the battered Arthdal army was in
tatters. THE FINAL
ENCOUNTER In the
final encounter between Inaishingi and Tagon, the king was mortally injured
by Inaishingi’s sword, The Sword of Aramun. The final death blow was executed
by Taealha, his queen. Inaishingi
and his Ago warriors assisted by superpowers, the Neanthal Nunbyeol, ‘the
strongest person in the world’, and Karika, the xabara or chief of the Momo
tribe, had finally entered triumphantly into the walled city of Arthdal. Attacking
the last defending Arthdal soldiers, they fought bravely and valiantly and
conquered the city. The leader of Ago and his army of warriors faced the Arthdal soldiers head on. It was a fight to the finish. Both sides rushed fiercely at each other.
Inaishingi, like a
hunting panther, poised before he leapt into the air and struck death
blows.
He displayed some
amazing moves with his sword. Juggling and twirling his sword skilfully, he
savagely cut through flesh and bone of the enemy soldiers. His movements were
swift and easy.

In the final episode, the ambitious
Saya, who impersonated his twin brother yet again turned heroic and attempted
to save Tanya from Tagon’s clutches. The king leapt up and slashed Saya, who
lacked a reputation as fighter. Tagon thought that if he killed Inaisahingi, the
key to the unity of the coalition of 30 disparate tribes,
he would be able to break them up and everything would be back to square one.
Saya, a real hero, was severely
wounded by Tagon.  EUN SEOM THE HERO TO THE RESCUE But, Saya was saved from death by
the timely appearance of the courageous hero of the story, Inaishingi-Aramun
Haesulla, his twin brother. When Inaishingi leapt down the
steps, his image was reflected on his Saya’s obsidian Ikomahis pendant which
had a reflective surface. Saya mirrored his brother, Inaishingi. Tagon was reminded of the prophecy
of Asa Hon, ‘Break the Mirror first. The day when the Mirror reflects
the Sword will be the end of your world.’
Saya was the Mirror and Inaishingi
was the Sword, and the Mirror reflected the Sword. 
Inasghingi sprang and vaulted from
the stairs. With one powerful, fluid leap, he kicked Tagon away. One marvels
at his action prowess. It was an exciting, fast and furious fight. Both were
Igutus, who had Neanthal blood and were stronger than Sarams. Unlike Saya,
they were also trained in physical combat and swordsmanship. But, Tagon, who was middle-aged and
years older, was expected to be in a weaker physical condition compared to
Inaishingi who was always in the thick of physical combats in wars.
Tagon, like one possessed, seemed to
have the upperhand when Inaishingi fell to the ground. When Inaishingi pulled
the king down with him, they rolled over the ground before Tagon kicked him.
Inaishingi was trounced and thrown against the wall. When Inaishingi bounced back, he was
thrown against the wall of the shrine a second time. Then, gripping his hand, Tagon
slammed Inaishingi a third time against the wall. Inaishingi was punished so
badly that it was thought to be the endgame for him.
Both twin brothers had fallen and at
the mercy of the king. Inaishingi was coughing. Tagon targeted the younger
but stronger twin. Inaishingi was thrown around like a rag doll a fourth
time. 
Inaishingi, suddenly surging with
renewed energy, kicked Tagon and their swords met.
But, Inaishingi was pushed to the
ground. Just the thought of his helplessness gives the audience
palpitations. Pressing his chest down, Tagon tried
to stab him but missed. The Ago leader rolled away and leapt to his feet.
 
Tagon seemed not just equipped with
better skills but a better sword as well. His sword was broader and longer.
Then they crossed swords again and as Tagon thwacked him, Inaishingi
staggered to his feet. Swinging his bigger sword at his opponent, the king
managed to stab Inaishingi.
Their swords crossed again. Tagon’s
sword pressed heavily against him. Then Inaishingi and Tagon’s eyes
turned purple. The gods in the skies must have been
enjoyindg the duel. Perhaps, they were waiting for the right moment to give a
helping hand. Destiny must be fulfilled. Inaishingi slowly slid his sword
away and then, with one lightning move, he stabbed Tagon in the stomach. When
he unceremoniously yanked the sword out, purple blood poured out from Tagon’s
fatal wound.
Saya, who had witnessed the fight in
horror, felt stabbing pain in his shoulder. Even with the pain of his wound, the
crazied Tagon, fuelled with rage, lifted up his rival and threw him down.
Picking up his sword, he swung it at Inaishingi. But Inaishingi had powerfully
wrenched his special Aramun Sword from the tree stump. Spinning swiftly
around, he slashed at Tagon’s neck. Tagon had met his match. He staggered to
the ground. Momentarily shocked to finally defeat Tagon, Inaishingi stared at
his sword stained with the purple blood of Tagon.
In the physical fight, it proved
that the longer and broader sword may be useful but the shorter sword was in
no way less effective. If you understand Fate and Destiny, you will know the
conclusion of the story. Realization dawned on Inaishingi
that he was indeed the god, Aramun Haesulla, as foretold in the Arth
prophecy. The sword in his hands was The Sword of Aramun which had saved his
life. The major twist of The Sword of
Aramun, a High Fantasy television series, the first of its kind in South
Korea and probably Asia, is Inashingi was vastly different from other gods;
he, a living deity who walked the land among the Sarams, Neanthals, Momos and
other strange races, was the reincarnation of 2 gods. He was both the gods,
Inaishingi and Aramun Haesulla.
